fix(storage): bound topology rewrite memory

[DecisionNerd]

Summary

• recover node and edge surrogate tails from bounded final Parquet row groups instead of full topology scans
• stream fixed-schema topology rewrites through 64K-row batches, including legacy node-label normalization
• journal ingest subphase, chunk, process memory, topology rewrite work, and disk usage during long Graph500 publications
• document that this bounds resident memory but does not solve the cumulative recopy I/O tracked by feat(storage): stage topology append-only with linear ingest I/O #901

Root-cause evidence

With identical 1,048,576-edge publication windows before this repair, S17 peaked at 963,362,816 bytes RSS and S18 at 1,369,128,960 bytes. The second S17 publication copied all existing edges; S18 emitted 10,358,282 cumulative topology rows for about 3.8 million retained edges.

After streaming rewrites and bounded tail reads, the same diagnostics peaked at 675,184,640 bytes for S17 and 819,511,296 bytes for S18; later S18 windows remained about 693, 705, and 561 MB. This removes accumulated-topology RSS growth while leaving the superlinear I/O visible for #901.

Verification

• cargo test -p graphforge-storage --lib (603 passed, 1 contract regression initially exposed; corrected and rerun directly green; 2 ignored)
• cargo test -p graphforge-storage wave12_max_edge_id_skips_non_parquet_and_corrupt_parquet_entries --lib
• cargo test -p graphforge-storage append_rewrite_copies_existing_topology_in_bounded_batches --lib
• cargo test -p graphforge-storage reopen_recovers_surrogate_tails_without_full_topology_reads --lib
• cargo test -p graphforge-storage streaming_node_append_normalizes_legacy_scalar_labels --lib
• cargo test -p graphforge-api --test scale_g500_ladder ci_rung_public_facade_engineering_green -- --exact --nocapture --test-threads=1
• cargo clippy -p graphforge-storage -p graphforge-api --lib -- -D warnings
• make pre-push-fast

cargo clippy ... --tests -- -D warnings is not a repository gate and reports pre-existing unrelated test lints across the storage crate; no unrelated cleanup is included here.

Remaining gate

#900 stays open until the exact merged SHA completes S20 on the same 4 GiB Fly class with plateauing anonymous RSS. #901 remains the required append-only / linear-I/O and disk-growth repair before billion-edge certification.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added progress monitoring for large-scale graph ingestion, including phase, chunk, memory, storage, and disk usage details.
  • Added topology rewrite I/O metrics, including row counts and peak batch size.
  • Improved append workflows for existing graph data while preserving ordering and supporting normalization.

• Performance

  • Reduced catalog scans by reading only relevant data tails when determining maximum node and edge IDs.
  • Improved bounded processing of existing Parquet data during updates.

Walkthrough

The change streams topology rewrites through bounded Parquet batches, recovers surrogate IDs from file tails, normalizes legacy node labels, records rewrite I/O metrics, and adds Graph500 ingest heartbeat instrumentation.

Changes

Bounded topology streaming

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Bounded surrogate-tail recovery crates/graphforge-storage/src/catalog.rs	Maximum node and edge IDs now come from final Parquet row groups. Unreadable edge artifacts are ignored.
Bounded append restaging and metrics crates/graphforge-storage/src/staging.rs, crates/graphforge-storage/src/io_stats.rs	RewriteBatch streams existing content in bounded batches, supports normalization, and records rewrite row volumes and peak batch size.
Writer integration and compatibility validation crates/graphforge-storage/src/writer.rs	Node and edge flushes use append restaging. Tests verify bounded reopen behavior and legacy scalar-label normalization.
Graph500 ingest heartbeat crates/graphforge-api/tests/scale_g500_ladder.rs	The ladder records ingest phases, edge chunks, memory, storage I/O, disk usage, and rung evidence in background journal entries.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6a3f9

The PR adds long-running ingest diagnostics, but a failed rung can leave its heartbeat worker running and produce stale or missing journal state, which may contaminate subsequent scale-test results. Merge should wait for panic-safe cleanup and state initialization, with the required validation gates confirmed.

In `@crates/graphforge-api/tests/scale_g500_ladder.rs`:
- Around line 802-816: Implement Drop for IngestHeartbeat so dropping it signals
the worker to stop, unparks it, and joins its thread, ensuring cleanup during
panic unwinding. Preserve stop() as the explicit normal-shutdown path and avoid
changing the surrounding rung processing flow.
- Around line 671-695: Ensure the heartbeat worker always writes its first
snapshot when GF_G500_LADDER_JOURNAL_OUT is configured, even if thread_stop is
already set before the loop begins. Update the thread::spawn logic around
write_json_atomically to perform the initial write synchronously or coordinate
completion so join() occurs only after that write, while preserving the existing
periodic heartbeat behavior.
- Around line 802-805: In the rung setup around IngestHeartbeat::start,
initialize INGEST_CHUNK_INDEX to 0 and INGEST_SUBPHASE to 1 before starting the
heartbeat, ensuring no heartbeat observes the previous rung’s chunk index.
- Around line 616-710: Make IngestHeartbeat cleanup panic-safe by implementing
Drop to stop, unpark, and join its worker unless stop has already completed,
preventing detached heartbeat threads after panics. Reset INGEST_CHUNK_INDEX
before each rung begins so chunk reporting starts at zero. Update CI to run all
required Rust gates, including bazel test //:ci_rust_tests.

CodeRabbit fixes applied

Fixed the three independently verified heartbeat issues in c4e34c3a:

• panic-safe worker stop, unpark, and join through Drop
• guaranteed first journal snapshot before stop observation
• clean per-rung chunk/subphase initialization before worker start

The duplicated cleanup finding is covered by the same fix. The requested Bazel/CI coverage already exists and is green at the exact head: Bazel Bootstrap, Concurrency Matrix, and CI Gate all passed. Focused Clippy and the public-facade ladder regression also pass.
